It was built in 1856, and is a simple one-story, frame church building. It was enlarged about 1870. The center entry and flanking windows on the front gable end have Gothic Revival lancet arches and the gable roof is topped by and open belfry. Also on the property are the contributing church cemetery with burials dating to 1860, and the parsonage, a two-story frame residence built about 1893.
